Abstract
Methods and apparatuses that simplify user access to various desired programming over a mobile device are disclosed. In (601) the user selects a program and in (603) an ESG data fragment is checked for a criteria. In (605) the appropriate field of the various ESG fields may be checked to determine whether the selected program matches an existing criteria. If not, then the users selections are continued to be monitored. If a criteria matches, then in (607) a check of whether a previous selection matching the particular criteria was made previously. If the criteria was previously selected, then the index is incremented, and a threshold is checked in (613). If the threshold is exceeded (613), a group will be created (615) corresponding to user selections (601). If the number of selections has not exceed the threshold in (613), no new group will be created.
